Her throat felt tight. Slowly, Ivy reached out and took the bag. Then, without holding back, she pulled out one cookie and bit into it.
The sweet taste melted in her mouth. She closed her eyes in delight.
'She is looking like a cute pink hamster.' Talia thought in her heart.
If Silas had heard, he would have nodded right away. Both siblings had the same thought. To them, Ivy was not just a girl. She was like a small pink animal, soft and cute, without realizing it herself.

He cooked, and they ate together quietly. Afterward, they both prepared for bed.
But as soon as they lay down, the mattress gave a strange groan. Suddenly, the whole bed collapsed beneath them with a loud crack.
Both of them jumped in shock.
"What just happened?" Ivy gasped.
